Hey if you could help me with this it'd mean a lot I can't figure it out L+S=17
3L+2S=46
What is S and what is L?

L = 12  S = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

L+S=17

3L+2S=46

Multiply the first equation by -2

-2L -2S = -34

Then add it to the second equation

-2L -2S = -34

3L+2S=46

L = 12

Now we can find S

L+S = 17

12 + S = 17

Subtract 12 from each side

S = 17-12

S = 5

answer: a.

step-by-step explanation: the answer is a. because, you need to converge the fractions to find a solution.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
